GAN 356 i 3 Stickerless Speed Cube, 3x3 Smart Cube 356 i3 Gans Magnetic Cube Intelligent Tracking Timing Movements Steps with CubeStation App Gan Cube Puzzle Toys(GAN Robot not Included)

The app is useful (somewhat) to solve a messed up cube, but MUST be connected and logged in on some server in a remote country. The GUI is badly designed, too much visual clutter that serves no purpose, and I could go on. However my time has value too, so I'll stop here. Overall, I got what I wanted, a way to solve the cube while I am still learning it (I avoid all tutorials, the joy of solving it by myself is what my goal is)

Realmente yo no soy un speed cuber ni mucho menos pero sí que quería aprender a hacer el cubo de Rubik y para eso necesitaba poder volver al punto inicial después de haberme liado.Este cubo se conecta a la aplicación del móvil y además de enseñarte los algoritmos puedes ir practicando y una vez que ya no hay vuelta atrás te enseña a cómo volver al punto de inicio.En mi caso escogí este que lleva batería recargable aunque mi sobrino le compre el que lleva pila de botón y es igualmente bueno.

Très bien, cube rapide, tiens bien en main, fluide, facile a se connecter avec l'application pour ma part. Petit dépliant avec algorithmes. L'application reste lente (langue anglais ou chinois) . Ce cube est parfait pour un amateur ou amatrice de speed cube.

Molto scorrevole e stabile, associato al robot è molto d’effetto. Soddisfatto

update: after using it for a couple of days, I love the whole setup; cube and robot. Yes I am avoiding the competition mode with other cubers as all I wanted from this whole setup (robot and cube) was a way to scramble the cube after each solve as I feel a manual scrambling no matter how great the effort is not good enough. I am using the app under "device list" where I connect the cube first then I connect the robot, otherwise connecting the robot first would somehow scramble the cube without the cube registering the fact (very strange programming indeed). like why? I find myself asking "why?" a lot because I find that this single app isn't very well integrated with both the robot and cube but yet it is integrated because the robot has know the cube position before solving. So as I said, I am using the robot under the device list where I can click on scramble or click on solve. Under the device list for the cube, you can sync, use photo sync where you take photos of all sides of a scrambled cube and now the scrambled cube is sync with the phone and you can put it in the robot to solve. So under device list there is no scramble then timer to solve. I mean logically it should be here like scramble the cube, take it out and a timer should begin or at least a button for you to tap for you to solve the cube. After solving the cube there is no APP reaction. Like why not? like yay! I solved the cube! anyway I have been doing this throughout the day when I need a distraction, much like a fidget Rubik's cube that I can hit scramble then solve and just leave the cube in the robot arms. The app is a chore to learn like even the photo syncing of a scramble cube had no prompts so I had to guess at all the different color sides of the cube and one of the errors was that taking a photo of the white side and attempting to take the same photo I get a message that it is an error that the cube had more than 9 sides? why? why? Anyway who can understand the eastern philosophy of why? But the one thing I can say that now that I got it to work, I love it.Original review when really angry: For Durability I gave it a 1 star because most users would have thrown everything across the room and would have shattered any cube. Spent two hours trying to create an account on CubeStation and because the app doesn't match the YouTube cube station app I was suspecting that I got a malware app. Ran the app on both an iPhone and an android phone trying to figure out how to create an account and even after creating an account by accident it was difficult trying to sign in using the accidental account on my android. As far as I'm figuring it out, you have to sign on using "forgot my password" at which you use the verification code plus new password to attempt to sign in, and somewhere (on iPhone) the sign in process disappears and ask if this is the first time you are signing in and then it creates a new account with your password. The thing is I could not find a place to change your password. I spent two hours trying to figure this all out and I was about to return everything as I even bought the Gan Robot. Not everything is in English as even error messages are in Chinese. This is probably the worse designed app ever. Even after signing in, it is very difficult to understand how to use the app and it is with sheer will and determination that I manage to wrangle what I needed out of the app with both the Gan Robot and the Gan cube that works alongside the whole contraption. All I wanted was a robot that could scramble my cube after solving and once I figured it all out, taking probably about 3 hours of trial and errors, the system works. The robot does not hold the cube tight enough so I put elastic bands around the arms and it turns out that after you put the cube into the robot you need to twist the 4 arms clockwise to lock the cube in. It all works... Gave it a 1 but decided that it is worth 5 stars but begrudgingly.

It's a pretty good speed cube. Corner cuts well (meaning if the rows aren't totally aligned it will still rotate and snap accordingly so really helpful for faster cubing! App is OK, a little clunky. I prefer Rubik's Connected App or the Go Cube App... but I bought this one to work with the robot and they work amazingly well together. Love the smoothness of the cube, the fact it's stickerless, and that it cuts corners. It doesn't get misaligned like a standard Rubik's cube. Love the weight and feel. The tutorial classes are great! What I really like about this cube is that the app rotates the cube with you, the others don't. App is a little buggy, but still a really great cube and trainer!

This review is for the GAN 12UI (I have 2), not the GAN i3 (I have 5).They are both good, but the GAN 12UI is simply amazing. It is for all intents and purposes a main top of the line speed cube... that is also a smart cube. Excellent weight, corner cutting, and durability.I average 17s (Ao100) with a PB of 9.7s and have more than 50k solves with the app. Most with the GAN i3 which is also a good cube, but is not quite as fast and is a little heavier.If you know a speed cuber and they don't have this one yet... get it for them. It's that good.

This was a Christmas present for my grandson. He loved it. He likes solving puzzles and using strategy to solve puzzles, so this was right up his alley.

Its good but not very fast

Der SmartCube 356 i3 macht richtig Spaß, wenn man seine Tücken zu nehmen weiß.Anfangs hat alles super geklappt; Ersteinrichtung der App und Kopplung mit dem Cube tiptop.Aber dann ging es los mit Zicken;Nach einer recht kurzen Session hab ich den Cube per App disconnected und zur Seite gelegt.War dann aber nach 3-5 Minuten schon wieder da und wollte weitermachen; der Würfel hat nicht mehr reagiert und die App hat ihn auch nicht mehr gefunden. Auch der Tipp die weiße Seite einmal im Uhrzeigersinn und einmal dagegen zu drehen (UU'), hat nicht geholfen. Erst nachdem ich den Würfel mindestens 10 Minuten nicht mehr bewegt oder gar berührt habe (wegen dem Gyroskopsensor), hat er wieder normal reagiert und ließ sich mit dem Drehen einer beliebigen Seite wieder einschalten.Nachdem ich alle Tipps ausprobiert hatte, die ich im Netz finden konnte, habe ich mir nochmal die Anleitung zur Brust genommen. Und da habe ich dann letztlich die Lösung herleiten können.In der Anleitung steht, dass man den Würfel mit 5 maligem Drehen der weißen Seite im Uhrzeigersinn von der App trennen kann. Was nicht in der Anleitung steht; mit 5 maligem Drehen der weißen Seite im Uhrzeigersinn meinen sie 5 mal um 360°. Das löst bei dem Würfel einen Softreset aus und er geht wieder in den Pairingmodus. Dieser hält dann etwa 30 Sekunden an; in dieser Zeit kann man den Würfel wieder mit der App verbinden. Sollte der Würfel also einfach mal nicht reagieren, probiert das mal aus. Bei mir klappt das jedes Mal.Von dieser einen Sache abgesehen, ist es echt ein toller Smart Cube; die App bietet viele tolle Möglichkeiten zu lernen, zu trainieren, seine eigenen Algorithmen zu speichern und gegen andere Spieler auf der ganzen Welt anzutreten. Noch dazu kann man ihn sich mechanisch so gut einstellen, dass er von nicht smarten SpeedCubes kaum zu unterscheiden ist.Weiteres großes Plus: die Teile sind durchgefärbt, wodurch keine Sticker angebracht werden müssen.Ich kann diesen Würfel eigentlich nur jedem empfehlen, der lernen, üben, sich mit anderen messen oder auch einfach nur Spaß haben will.

I’ll start by saying I’m nowhere near being a “good” cuber. I started cubing about a month ago and before that I had never solved a cube at all. My best time is about 1.40, so I’m very much a beginner. With that being said. This is probably the cube I use the most. I love how the app keeps track of all of your solves with detailed information and dates for each. Full disclosure, the first cube I received didn’t work - the light just stayed solid and nothing I did could get it to pair. The second cube is perfect. It isn’t the best feeling cube I have, but I’d personally give it a solid 8 in terms of turning and corner cutting. The battery seems to last plenty for me (I try to get anywhere between 10-30 solves a day) and it rarely dips below 70% or so. The charging dock is really nice as well. I just leave mine next to my bed so the cube is always charged. The directions say to let it charge white face up so that’s what I do and I haven’t had any issues. I do wish the CubeStation app you use with it would let you solve with your phone or tablet in portrait instead of forcing landscape, but it isn’t a deal breaker. I’ll probably buy a second cube for my gf so she can start tracking her solves as well. I would definitely recommend this cube to anyone learning for the first time or trying to get back into it.
